I can confirm that the message "Usage: dhcp..." is no longer appearing in logs.

With the latest package
network-manager 0.8.1+git.20100810t184654.ab580f4-0ubun
It is replaced by time out:

Manual setup via "iwconfig essid my_essid" "dhcp wlan0" still works without any problem.
Should I file another bug report?
